The Dark Knight trilogy is widely available on streaming platforms, including Max and Hulu. However, these services aren’t available everywhere due to regional restrictions, or geoblocks. To get around geoblocks, you can use a VPN, like ExpressVPN, to change your IP address. This post explains how and where to watch The Dark Knight with a VPN.

A quick refresher before we get into the nitty-gritty — The Dark Knight trilogy is a Batman film series by Christopher Nolan. The trilogy includes Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).
Familiar faces include Christian Bale (Batman/Bruce Wayne), Aaron Eckhart (district attorney Harvey Dent) and Michael Caine (Alfred Pennyworth). The late, great Heath Ledger won an Oscar for his unforgettable role as The Joker.
Without further ado, let’s get down to what we’re all here for — how to watch the caped crusader and his quests to protect Gotham City from crime in The Dark Knight trilogy.
Where to Watch The Dark Knight Trilogy Online
You can watch The Dark Knight trilogy on a number of streaming platforms, or you can buy or rent it online. Here’s a breakdown of where you can find the series by country. Please note that not every platform has all three movies.
| Streaming Platforms | Buy or Rent |
|---|---|
| Max (various locations) | Amazon Prime Video |
| Amazon Prime Video (France) | Google Play |
| Hulu (U.S.) | Vudu (U.S.) |
| Now TV (U.K.) | ROW8 (U.S.) |
| Crave (Canada) | |
| BINGE (Australia)*Batman Begins (2005) missing | |
| Netflix (France)*The Dark Knight Rises (2012) missing |
Where to Watch The Dark Knight Series for Free
Though Max does not offer a free trial, Hulu gives you 30 free days when you sign up. You’ll need to have a U.S. payment method (i.e. a U.S. credit card) to sign up for a Hulu free trial, though, as the service restricts payment to U.S. customers only. If you’re outside the U.S. and would like to purchase a Hulu subscription, you can buy a virtual gift card.
Another option is to get a 30-day free trial with Amazon Prime Video and connect to a French VPN server to stream The Dark Knight series for free. Other services with a free trial that have all, or some, of The Dark Knight movies include Crave (Canada) and BINGE (Australia).
How to Watch The Dark Knight With a VPN
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to watch the three The Dark Knight movies from anywhere on Amazon Prime Video France with ExpressVPN.
You can use this method with other streaming services like Hulu and Max — just connect to a VPN server in a country where your chosen service is available and access your streaming service account as normal. In this tutorial, we’ll be using ExpressVPN, our top VPN recommendation for streaming.
- Get ExpressVPN
Go to ExpressVPN’s website and sign up for a plan. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Download ExpressVPN
Go to “download VPN” and select the ExpressVPN app for your device. Click “download now,” and then click “download” on the next page.

Open the ExpressVPN app and connect to a server in France.

Go to the French Amazon Prime Video page and log in to your account. Search for the The Dark Knight movie you want to watch and start streaming. Don’t forget to change your audio language and subtitles in the top right corner of the video if you need to.
The 3 Best VPNs for Watching The Dark Knight
There are many decent VPNs on the market, but not all of them are worth your time or your money. Here are three VPNs for streaming we’re happy to vouch for.
1. ExpressVPN
Pros:
- Unblocks streaming services
- Simple to use
- Watertight security
Cons:
- Expensive
Whether you’re a complete VPN beginner or have been around the block a few times with VPNs before, you can’t go wrong with ExpressVPN. This easy to use and speedy VPN provider is a powerhouse behind its barebones, no-nonsense user interface and makes streaming your favorite content from anywhere very simple. It’s also the most secure VPN service around.
The only downside to ExpressVPN is that it’s expensive. However, you’ll never be left disappointed by its performance. If you’d like to try ExpressVPN out for yourself, you can do so with its 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our full ExpressVPN review to find out more.

2. NordVPN
Pros:
- Top speeds
- Intuitive desktop interface
- Affordable two-year plan
Cons:
- Awkward mobile interface
If outstanding speeds tickle your fancy, you might want to give NordVPN a try. As the fastest VPN we test on a daily basis, NordVPN is a great choice for people who use streaming platforms. Moreover, its desktop interface is really easy to find your way around, and the two-year plans are pretty fairly priced in our opinion — especially for what NordVPN can offer.
If you’re planning on streaming mostly from a mobile device, though, note that you might find the mobile interface a bit awkward — especially if you’re not hot on geography. Like ExpressVPN, NordVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. To find out more about NordVPN and its features, check out our NordVPN review.

3. Proton VPN
Pros:
- No data limits on free plan
- Works with streaming apps
- Good speeds
Cons:
- Only 3 locations on free plan
If you’re planning on accessing your Hulu or Max account while abroad, Proton VPN offers free servers in the U.S. and unlimited data — one of the reasons it’s our top free VPN recommendation. It unblocks major streaming services and is a decent choice if you’re new to VPNs and want to try one out without having to enter any payment details at all.
The only issue with using Proton VPN’s free plan for streaming is that you only get free servers in three locations — the U.S., Japan and the Netherlands. If you want to access services in other locations, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan. Check out our Proton VPN review for more.
